Hendrick Theyanoguin (1691-8 September 1755), also known as King Hendrick or Hondrick, was a Christian chief of the Mohawk tribe who allied with Great Britain during the French and Indian War.

Biography
Hendrick Theyanoguin was born in 1691, the son of a Mohawk woman and a Mohegan father. He was considered to be a part of his mother's Bear clan as per native custom, as the matrilineal kinship system of the Mohawk stated that the son of a Mohawk woman would be a part of the Mohawk tribe. Hendrick settled at Canajoharie, and in 1710 he was among the "Four Indian Kings" that visited Queen Anne of Great Britain in London during Queen Anne's War. Hendrick formed a close alliance with British Superintendent for Indian Affairs William Johnson and, during the French and Indian War, he led the Iroquois Confederacy into the war as an ally of Great Britain against the Kingdom of France. He was killed at the battle of Lake George on 8 September 1755, which resulted in a British-Iroquois strategic victory.
